They probably don't care that the ratings are doing bad. There's this entire "change the channel's format" strategy. Part of that is to completely alienate your previous fanbase to make them go away and stop demanding the kind of shows they used to like. They then build from scratch to achieve the new format. The format will be reality tv bullshit and teeny bopper jailbait sluts using crappy situation comedies as a vehicle to sell CDs and Mp3s for Time Warner.
As we didn't have enough tenny booper craps! I wish one day these executives got fired for good. And even if they started from scratch, it will get even more lower ratings.

Wow, I hope they play the golf show back to back with the rollercoaster quiz show. Then they can add Extreme Teen Antiques Roadshow to the programming block.

I can watch Jackass and laugh at it as much as say, "Blackadder", but man, no one's going to like "Blackadder" cause you need to be thinking to get most of the jokes.

Also, helps if you like British comedy...and history


LOL I remember watching videos of Blackadder back in '02. Indeed, you need to be able to process thought to get most of the funny from it.
Unlike straight, dumb, "this never gets old no matter how many times MTV2 rehashes it" (which is a lot) Jackass.

'Tis a shame that any former cartoon channels are packing up and heading down the road of Disney/MTV and trying to appeal to the slobbering, TXTing, OMIGAWD masses.... :hmm:

I can't wait for this Teen Antiques Roadshow to unveil a Sega Genesis and here the feather-head mook go "uh...they used to play Donkey Kong on this."

Also, the kid will be amazed at how everyone lived with 2D graphics.

Gah. I wish we had a really DANG good 2D game now. With all the processing power of the PS3 and 360 have, we could have a really AMAZING looking Guilty Gear.

At least we have that MVC2 port coming next week.

Fake Edit: "The King of Fighters XII" is in 2D. Hot damn.

They did it and called it BlazBlue. And it was good. (Or so I'm told.)

Now, just last weekend at the movies, during the pre-show for the new Harry Potter, they ran a promo for the new CN. It featured an original music video by Andrew W.K. (anyone remember him?) Apart from being way longer than it should have been, it was shocking how they're saying all that like it's a good thing.

And I think we can write off getting the final season of TS! in America. I never thought I'd say this, but I think 4Kids should get in on this little power vacuum and buy the rights for it (and Team Galazy, while they're at it). At least they won't have to dub it.
I am going to marry Alex. You have my word.
And my bow.
And my axe!

No offense, but no way. 4Kids royally fucked up Winx Club, which is about as tame as it comes and already had a perfect English dub. They should go no where near TS. I'd rather just watch avi files than have to witness their full-scale butchering of it. I guess maybe we can hope for Nickelodeon or Boomerang. Doubt Disney would mess with TS again due to Kim Possible and all that. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of TS in the US. Just depends how long the contracts say CN gets to keep their claws on it.

TS is on like, Disney Asia though, but I don't think Disney Asia and Disney U.S. talk at all.

That, and I think Disney's more interested in making original cartoons that they can RANDOMLY place their stars in. I'm convinced that the only reason "Phinias and Ferb" outlasted "The Replacements" is that the former has Ashley Tisdale in it.

I heard of him back when The Rock hosted SNL.

Shame about his death.

Oh, Rock, we told you not to eat that sandwich near the lake, but you did anyway.

All I can say is: I'm so glad I grew up when I did. I don't even watch the Big 3 kids/cartoon channels anymore, save for the occasional SpongeBob.

All this time, people been telling me that CN Real's ratings blow.

Either they don't blow, or someone at CN is determined not to let his terrible experiment die.

They may also be doing a slash and burn tactic. Get rid of the old audience so they can try to get a new one. Lower ratings at first wouldn't necessarily be bad in this crazy scenario.
